THOSE "BLOOMING" CAPS.

There's a cove called "Gleaner" gassin' about them l)ln(iiiiin' c;ips, An' I'll je-t remark in passin' that it might bo better praps Jest tu let the winners wear 'em, as decent chaps slum].. (In, GVe the Jtuntly puis wight tear 'em from the bloomin' " boys in bine/' Then bo's done some higli falutin' 'bout " war" and " Waterloo," 'Cos no douht he found it suitin' jest to rime with " Gribble too." An' then he goes on skitin' 'bout our bankit an'our band, An' does some fancy writin' as a cove can't understand. In some furrin' kind of linr.o talks of " fortune de la guerre," That tix'd ns up, by jingo, for wo wudered what it wur. " Gleaner " then goes en to tell us we should " Imik out for mishaps " : There he's right, "mishaps" befel us, an' that's how we lost them caps. Hut we didn't loose 'em fair, an/so hedidn't oughter bra?, Tor we'd 've won 'em fair an' square if Crowe had seen the umpire's flag. The blue hoys' pote then does it sling a little bit too stron? When he says as how wo "enn't it sing"; s'pose he means our football song. But we'll sing our snng an' play it on the flute an' koncertina ; An' I means it when I say 3 it—are you listenin' Mr "Gleaner?"' We don't bear no ill - foelin' tnrds your bloomin' "boys in blue," But we do the squeelin' of such barrackers as you. Bahrackkk. Huntly. |
